Dallas sweeping Los Angeles in round two of the NBA playoffs, was more than just a loss of a game. Game 4 in all likely hood means coaching legend Phil Jackson has coached his final game. The Lakers fell short on a three peat after playing in three straight NBA Finals. Jackson has coached the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, Shaq and Kobe Bryant. This season marked the 20Th anniversary where Chicago defeated Los Angeles to win their first NBA title. Jackson coached Chicago to six titles and two three peats. Jackson coached Los Angeles to five titles, one three peat and 7 Finals appearances. As a player with the New York Knicks, Jackson won another championship as well. Many speculate former player and current assistant coach Brian Shaw will become the next Lakers coach.
